Re: A82: OS-82: No APD??
Thomas are you sure this is true ? I have not look very much into this
problem, but to me is seems like you are wrong.
APD is handled by the interrupt handler, every time a timer interrupt
occurs a function which handles APD is called. TO enable APD you have to
set a bit in the system part of the mem. All this has nothing to do with
KEY_HAND.
The problem is that a program has to support APD to use, so it is not
enough that the shelll does it. The reason for this is that the APD
counbter is not automaticly reset. If you use KEY_HAND it takes care of
it, otherwise just call one function when ever a key is pressed.
I do not think APD is nessasry in a game, when you get used to it it is no
problem to exit a game berfore leaving the calc.
